As the waves settle the callouses form..

11/6/10

Training Day Take Two saw Brian really amp things up. We not only focused on moving the gondola forward and backwards but we did donuts (rotations - and yes, that's what they actually call them) and back-steering. All I can say is, lucky we were in an open space. Attempt after attempt at trying and failing I was close to giving up. But Brian wouldn't let me. I searched within myself for any remaining vestiges of energy and motivation and as a result the rest of our training session was almost exactly like a Hollywood movie

I even had my first blister. A landmark day indeed.

is there any chance you might fall in? or is there something that is attaching you to the boat???

There is no form of protection from the depths of the murky waters that lie below. I think gondoleering is on the Top Ten list of Most Dangerous Professions. Right after bomb deactivators and McDonalds workers.
